goldtwins (3731), Nesconset, New York, USA Apr 22, 2008 Poured a clear deep copper color with a thin off-white head. Fruity esters with nutty notes and some alcohol. the flavor was sweet and nutty with some mild maple syrup notes on the finish. Medium bodied. JoeMcPhee (3692), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Apr 22, 2008 Bottle shared by goldtwins. Deep amber-brown beer. Aroma is very woody and nutty. Some nice sweet pecan aroma and a rich brown maltiness. Flavour is quite earthy and sweet with a kiss of maple and loads of toasted pecan flavour. There is a bit of woody/nut husk astringency. Sweet and toasty and quite interesting Tmoney99 (3522), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Apr 16, 2008 Trade made at HopCat. Poured clear dark brown color with an average brown frothy head that lasted with good lacing. Moderate to heavy nutty and earthy sweet malt aroma. Medium body with a sticky texture. Medium to heavy sweet flavor with a medium to heavy bittersweet finish of moderate to long duration. This is a solid sweet beer. notalush (2027), Rawn-kawn-kohma, New York, USA Apr 23, 2008 Thanks to goldtwins for sharing - smells of rum, pecans, maple syrup, dough - smells like a Louisiana pastry shop - thick mouthfeel - maple syrup is strongest in the flavor, with some leafy bitter character and an alcohol burn - pecans and other nutty qualities - caramel and pastry-like sweetness - interesting, but it doesn’t come together as well as it could. drewbeerme (1788), Chicago, Illinois, USA Aug 17, 2008 750ml bottle at GTMW ’08. pours clear chestnut off white head. bready nutty nose. crisp, chestnutty, alcohol well hidden. a nice brown ale. i didn’t realize this was almost 10%!
